Aidan O'Brien had numerous entries at the early stage but relies solely on Awe Inspiring, a beautifully-bred daughter of Montjeu who probably won't be a stable star but came up against a very nice prospect in Hazarafa at Leopardstown. Be My Storm made a promising start behind What A Charm at Leopardstown in October and should win races this term but the one to take from that event is O' BELLA BALLERINA. John Oxx's filly is related to numerous high-class middle-distance performers including Millenary and could turn out to be a really nice prospect. One to keep an eye on for the future is Fit For A Queen, a daughter of Montjeu out of the useful middle-distance performer Mona Lisa.
